Jazz Hands Forever!
Although we were not dominant in competition Team Jazz Hands was dominant in spirit (sprit fingers!) at the DC National Rock, Paper, Scissors tournament. Jazz Hands member (and beloved housemate), Kelly, is featured prominently, if not exactly by name, in the Washington Post’s excellent coverage of the DC National RPS Championships (but why is this not in the Sports section?). Follow the link. Look at the picture. The boa! Jazz Hands represent! And check this:
Right now the men of DC Gambit are too busy for a formal interview because they are screaming insults at a possible opponent: a tiny woman in a black tank top and tight jeans, brandishing a cigarette and Yuengling beer, wearing a pink feather boa. She is yelling at them about what wimps they are, how they can’t possibly out-RPS her and her friends.
Sure, it’s cute, but you don’t have to live with the tiny, insult-screaming woman.
It must be mentioned that Jazz Hands member, Ryan “T2″ Nunn made the finals, and made us all damn proud.
And behold this awesomeness:
JAZZ HANDS! Next year, man. Next year.

Damned sorry I missed it. It seems that you’re representing rock in the picture—can’t say I condone any strategy that isn’t highly paper-weighted. Paper, after all, covers rock.

I’m the average height of women in the US, dammit!

I think I was deviously throwing the “paper clip”.
August 30th, 2004 13:54
But the average women is grotesquely obese!

The average weight of women in the US is 140! There was an article in InStyle a few years ago (look it up back at the house, that’s why I save them) featuring pics of 5′4″, 140 lbs women in tasteful undies.
Also, of note–the guy who finished just under the money was employing the all-paper strategy. Guess it’s no good.

Will, I love the sweatbands-coupled-with-necktie look you’ve got going. Sort of Richie Tenenbaum-meets-Avril Levigne.

from Walker and Wooders (1999) -
“Our tests indicate that the tennis players are not quite playing randomly: they switch
their serves from left to right and vice versa somewhat too often to be consistent with
random play. This is consistent with extensive experimental research in psychology and
economics which indicates that people who are attempting to behave truly randomly
tend to ‘‘switch too often.’”
Maybe RPC competitors are just too smart to produce non-random strings. I really wish someone had been recording all the throws - not only could the “over-switching” hypothesis have been evaluated, but there’s probably all sorts of interesting demographic predictors of strategy.
